Giving
Like God, we love to be generous. One of the ways we do this is through supporting projects that help people in the local community and further afield.
Practically, we have a giving team that prays through the various projects or initiatives we are aware of and then allocates money to them.
Some of the recent projects we’ve supported include: an after-school club on a local estate; Christians sharing about Jesus in Pakistan; tools for a women’s group in India; tree-planting in Scotland; emergency earthquake relief funds for families in Peru; plus lots more!
Who do we give to?
Here are some of our regular partners, including what they’ve been doing and why we give to them.
Just trade
Through our connection with Just Trade we have been able to help Artisan Groups around the world
What Just Trade says:
The Grove has “supported us in so many ways: offering space to sell products, support with bursaries to fund training, education and tools, and have seen the artisan partners through many challenging times.”

One of the women in our church community grew up in Manila in the Philippines. Through her sister we provided water and food supplies to her family and their neighbourhood following the devastation caused by Typhoon Ulysses.
